Description
No. 2 Camberwell Church Street is a late 19th-century bank building that has been converted into offices. It features red brick with stone dressings, a rusticated ground floor, and a mansard roof covered in red tiles. The exterior includes corner blocks with a two-window range facing Camberwell Church Street and a five-window range on the return side. A four-storey octagonal corner turret marks the main entrance, while the rest of the building has three storeys with dormers. There is a subsidiary entrance in a single-storey block at the far end of the return. The building has strongly modelled brick stacks, one on the main elevation and three on the return, along with a second turret at the south end of the return, which has a conical tiled cap.
The second-floor windows are adorned with stone architraves and are set beneath a bracketed cornice. First-floor windows are topped with lavishly carved segmental pediments, and the glazing on both floors consists of authentic plate-glass sashes. The ground floor features arched windows separated by pairs of Peterhead granite columns that support a deep projecting cornice. The main entrance has elaborately detailed double doors that are sheltered by a carved hooded doorcase with a central cartouche. The prominent onion-domed corner turret is clad in stone, contrasting with the red brick and tile of the upper storeys. This building takes full advantage of its prominent position facing Camberwell Green.
